That sounds really cool! Very Happy

Maybe if this is going on someone could do a notifying post on the forums? I'm kind of bad at hanging around in the chat, but I check up on the forums all the time - maybe others do similarly.

This sounds like fun. I second Stefan on the posting idea.

Here's what happened: I still had my setup I used for recording "Play My Game..." but with the "Seasound Generator" replaced by a "Heavy Metal Sound Machine". I was playing around a bit and got a very nice drone sound. Since there were some people in the chat willing to listen I decided to do some knob turning live on the open port. I couldn't record it but luckily jfox did Razz

. I had already started playing though so the beginning is missing. (Drone Pipe)

After I had finished, I played around a bit more and I got the CASIO SA-8 to glitch in a way I liked so with the click of a button started transmitting again. This time I asked jfox to get ready so it's recorded form start to finish. (Receiving Data From Celestial Places)

I'm sorry for everybody who missed it and would have liked to join in, but if I'm correct this friday will be open port night. (Or if you feel like playing now, join the chat and see what's possible,.. Wink

)

Thanks to jfox for recording the improv pieces. I look forward to listening to them again. This could be the start of an archives for what might be used sometime for a "Best of Open Port Live!" as more e-musicians take to the Open Port.

As for this Friday, 4/2/10, so far things look good. EdisonRex, who had been doing a two-hour live set--Edison's Ephemera--every Friday but who has gone to an alternate weeks schedule, has graciously given the green light to do an "Open Port Live!" show on the main stream this Friday as it is one of the "off weeks." (Thank you, EdisonRex!!! Thanks, also, to BlueHell for suggesting "Open Port Live!" could be streamed on the main port!!!)

Hopefully, with advanced notice more people will join in for some live streaming and live listening. More details to follow.

Grzmfmble! mad, short circuit

We have to do our grocery shopping today, which means I'm going to miss out. Argh!

I'm keeping an eye out for the next one. Who knows, I might jump in, too.

Had a great time doing this and think this is wonderfully social and musical event. I think this will become more popular with many EM musicians "stepping up to the port".

Most of this set was done with the "Benjolin" pictured below. It;s not pretty but it sure sounds cool Cool

Here is my 1/2 hour set from this evening.

I had a lot of fun playing and listening to everyone on this first scheduled Open port Night! The Benjolin really stood out for me because of its distinctive sound Smile

Thanks PHOBoS ! Just downloaded your sets as well as all the others.

I now Audiodef had a question about the Benjolin. If anyone is interested just take a peek here:

http://electro-music.com/forum/forum-185.html

Rob is an exceptionally brilliant man and this design is proof of his ability. I am constantly amazed at all the terrific talent we have on this forum !

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. Otherwise, just have a pleasant weekend Very Happy

Thanks again Steve for the great idea and thanks to Jan of course for his work.

Another Open Port Success!

This time I did something experimental using 2 DIY devices. One converts light into sound, the other one converts electromagnetic waves into sound. Light sources I used incl: Mad Scientist light, Fluorescent light, TV & DVD remote controllers, RGB LED PAR (DMX controlled) and a PC monitor. EMW sources I used incl: Laptop, PWM controlled fan (you can hear it about 5 min. into the set), mini Van De Graaff Generator (screaming/screeching noise), powerswitch on my delay, and some other sources. To make the sounds a bit more interesting I added delay.

I also streamed video but I couldn't record that (maybe i'll do that sometime in the future).

I had a lot of fun playing and listening and the Jam was great! Very Happy

Thanks to Dr Steve, Blue_Hell, Antimon, Mohoyoho, Dave, jfox, wmonk & Shane for playing. and everyone who listened.
